47 By the east wind

On the shore, a few heads stared sneakily at the dimly lit dock, slowly passing by as time passed. The mood of several people began to tense.

It wasn't until after a stick of incense that a dead wind lamp lit up on the edge of the ship's string not far away, and with the swing of the external force, it formed a circle, that Li Tianyang and the others came out and lightly touched the big boat.

"Have all the people on the ship checked?" On the boat, the first thing Li Tianyang asked was the situation on the ship.

"Well, I've checked it all, the three of them are sleeping in the barn, and my father and Uncle Bald are lying on the deck." When Liu Wang spoke, he was still a little weak-hearted, and he couldn't help but glance at a shadow on the deck a few times.

"That's good, Lu Wei, a few of you will take a handle, find a few strong ropes, tie up Uncle Youren and a few of them first, and then put them on the dock!" Li Tianyang glanced at Liu Wang apologetically, turned around and ordered the other people who followed.

"Well, no! Company commander, my dad is sleeping so dead now, no matter how much they move, they won't wake up, so don't tie it up. Liu Wang looked at Li Tianyang in embarrassment.

Giving sweat medicine to his father has already made Liu Wang feel uneasy, and it is not impossible for Li Tianyang to tie them up again, and as soon as the effect of Ming'er is over, his father will definitely turn his face against him, and it is not impossible to sever the relationship between father and son.

"Don't worry, we know that you are embarrassed by this matter, we don't have to do it, if your father asks in the future, you can just say that you don't know!" Lu Wei patted Liu Wang's shoulder, with an expression of 'how's it, it's enough buddy'.

"Hey~" "Hiss~"

Although the sky was dark, the subtle sound of a few teenagers covering their mouths and snickering still seemed real on the empty deck.

"A bunch of bastards!" What else can Liu Wang do, with such a group of bad friends, and such a boss who loves to dig pits, he can only admit it, at most, he can only end up out of sight, and he sneaks into the cabin of the big ship alone.

Kidnapping and transporting people is just some hard work, and it is really not a problem for a strong teenager. As for Liu Wang, he still felt ashamed when he came, so he took out a few sets of bedding rolls from the cabin, helped his father and a few uncles to make a bunk, and at the same time helped them cover a thin quilt so that they would not get cold.

At this point, all the answers are almost revealed.

No wonder the people in the whole camp became sneaky tonight, it turned out that Li Tianyang and his party were so bold that they actually moved his father's mind about the centipede boat that went home. Although Li Tianyang has become a habit of pit his father since he was a child, like today, he stole his father's heart at once, which can be regarded as a new situation.

"Sail!" Li Tianyang felt a little guilty, but when he stood at the bow of the ship and looked at this behemoth with more than 600 materials, everything was worth it.

After all, it was a big boat, and a few young people were already short of manpower, and the wharf at the entrance of the village was not far from the wharf of the camp, so it was not easy to raise the sails at all, so they could only rely on everyone to paddle manually, and it took a lot of effort to row the bow of the boat.

Li Tianyang's idea of fighting this centipede ship is not a day or two, since the first time, they followed his father to the sea to experience the life of pirates, and when they saw this unique warship, Li Tianyang was full of interest in this warship. Only when you are really in this era and understand the differences between sea ships in this era, will you know how big the gap between ships can be.

In his previous life, Li Tianyang had read some novels and documentaries, and he was full of curiosity about the colonists in history who dared to compete with the strength of a country with only a dozen or even a few big ships, and he couldn't believe that this would be a real thing.

In this era, there are many sea ships that are much larger than this six-hundred-material warship, and there are even those three-thousand-material seagoing ships, compared with this centipede ship, it is the gap between an adult and a child.

But! If you really want to compare the speed, agility and sturdiness of the ship, this centipede ship can throw those behemoths to 108,000 miles.

Li Tianyang didn't really want to have anything to do with his father, but when things came to this point, he couldn't think about it, so he could only turn his head to his father in the end. Since he was a child, Li Tianyang has never denied that he is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he absolutely puts the safety of his life first.

When their camp began to make a profit, Li Tianyang was already planning to find someone to make a good warship. But the reality was a basin of cold and biting cold water, which poured Li Tianyang into a cold heart, and almost made him catch a cold and fever.

For a ship of more than 400 materials, the overall cost of more than 3,000 taels of silver, including labor and materials. And this, but it is the profit of Qixintang, which has been developed for five years, for more than a year, the money is good to say, as long as Qixintang develops well, it can always be saved in the past few years. But the problem is that not everyone in these shipbuilding workshops, whether it is Guangzhou or Fujian, has the ability to build a decent big ship.

After throwing stones and asking for directions, Li Tianyang and his team finally found a dock from Fuzhou, and spent more than 2,000 taels of silver to build a fortune boat with nearly 300 materials, that is, the sea boat that Li Tianyang used for fishing and transporting goods. The ship has been built, and the quality is actually good, anyway, it looks quite sturdy, and it is still relatively easy to run, does that mean that Li Tianyang and them can build a suitable big ship.

The problem is that Li Tianyang and the cause they are engaged in, but the road of the great pirates with their heads pinned to their waists, using such a cargo ship to rob others, this is equivalent to taking a machete without a blade to grab meat from someone's butcher's board, how unreliable you think. You know, other maritime merchants are not stupid, they know that there are many dangers at sea, and they don't give themselves extra points of insurance, they are also guarded by sailors, and the ships of other maritime merchants, if you pull out one at random, it is bigger than your lucky ship with a few hundred materials!

Then build a big enough warship, won't this problem be solved?

This is definitely an idiot-like solution to the problem, the Ming Dynasty sailors, the recorded warships, most of the choices are based on four hundred materials, why? The larger the ship, the more it is necessary to sacrifice the flexibility of the ship, with its speed. As a pirate, in fact, he is grabbing food in the rice bowl of other people's official mansions, without speed and flexibility, as soon as the sailor comes, he will directly serve you in a pot, so that you have no chance to come out to commit a crime next time, and die in vain, this is a truth that everyone understands.

Therefore, whether the pirate business is mixed well or not, in addition to the ability of the seafarers and sailors, what is more important is the combat power of the battleship under him.
